Wales: When to visit?
The best time to travel in the UK is generally summer, from June to August. During this period, average temperatures fluctuate between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, offering pleasant conditions for exploring the many sights and enjoying the country's magnificent landscapes. Days are also longer, which means more time to discover bustling cities such as London, Edinburgh or Belfast, as well as to explore magnificent national parks, coastlines and castles.
However, even in summer, it's important to be prepared for sudden showers and unexpected temperature changes. It's advisable to bring waterproof clothing to cope with any unforeseen weather conditions.
